1969 Hand Off

From the front cover of the September 5, 1970 game program comes this photo of QB Bart Starr getting ready to hand off the ball to an unseen RB. As evidenced by the NFL’s “50th Anniversary” logo on Starr’s shoulder, this was taken during game action against the Minnesota Vikings on November 16, 1969 at Milwaukee County Stadium — a game Green Bay lost, 9-7. On the day that this game program cover photo represents, the Packers and Bengals played to a thrilling 10-10 tie.
